    Coulda swore I posted this earlier, but I guess I just previewed and clicked off?


    Soooo..... Compensating for something are we ?

    Everyone... In your best Aussie accent... "That's not a knife.. THIS is a knife!!"







    So how much are you compensating if your saw is a V8 with nitrous!?


    OK.. Not my saw.. but just felt compelled to one-up b.walker.. lol.

          lol.. Seen them is competition. Takes two guys.. one on each side. They get it ready above the log, then gas it. The motor torques down and cuts the logs VERY quickly.

          Most of them in the class use 2-stroke dirt bike motors though.

              Yeah, and if it rains just a bit, they will die and leave you with a bunch of un cut logs.

                    Yeah, compensating for big trees. They are the right tool for the work I do.

                      Got my Midnight Special with that saw

                      I traded one old Oak tree removal for my 1100, here is the final cut on the tree:



                      And here is what I rode home with for doing it:

                        Stihl chainsaws rule!



                        Without these saws (and other Stihls) I wouldn't be here. I'm really a thumper lover, the 1978 Yamaha SR500E is my first love, but when I got an opportunity to trade tree work for the 1100 I jumped on the deal.

                        Here is my SR500, no Yamaha XS1100 can stay with me on a road I pick:

                            Looks like Doug has some huge chainsaws and the "guns" to match. Remind me not to piss him off...

                                L0L ~ If that's the road I'll try the downhill direction! From my Adventure Rider write up : "The 500 has 30hp going uphill and 300hp on the downhill sections"

                                Seriously though the Yamaha 1100 is no match for the SR500 in the twistys, even today's crotch rockets are hard pressed to stay with me unless the pilot is exceptional.

                                This is not a slag off of the 1100, I have one and it's a rocketship, it's just getting one to track well when pressed in hard cornering.
